paintings...photos soon.
I am at the easel creating an Out

a hill side. It is big and so is it 's
counterpart the other painting

painting that reminds me of my
first horse.

Artist Statement
» Wednesday, October 28, 2009
I am caught in wonder at the natural
world. " Come look at this, how beautiful
this plant is, how intricate this spider
web is and look how the stripes on a
chipmunk echo his shape. Come see
what I see." A perfect moment worthy
of notice and remenbering - that is what
sets me to painting. I paint to say what
I can't find words for .....to share
with you.
I paint with watercolours on paper
when I am portraying a subject that
is illusive and delicate. For stronger
or brighter topics I change to acrylic
on canvas. The challenge of taking
these materials and creating with
them is at times delightful and at other
times a wonderful struggle.
But always worth heading to the studio.
